Morocco Winter Sun Fitness Retreat: HIIT, Strength and Marrakesh

The retreat runs for five days and four nights. Day one is arrival and ignition: check in, then a HIIT session and a Revive stretch class, followed by a group dinner at the resort. Day two starts with Rivals, a team-based strength challenge, then breakfast and a free morning by the pool. After lunch at the resort, the afternoon is yours; later there's a Tricore abs session and dinner. Day three begins with Revive, then breakfast, then the guided Medina walking tour and lunch at Nomad. In the evening it's Rivals again, then dinner. Day four is HIIT in the morning, breakfast, a free morning, lunch, a free afternoon, then Rivals and dinner. Day five wraps up with Tricore, breakfast, and late-morning checkout — you can store bags and use the pool before your flight.

What sets this apart from a generic fitness holiday is the structure: two sessions most days, but with real downtime built in. The team-based Rivals format is a Workout Away signature, and the HIIT and Tricore classes are their own branded programmes. The Medina walk is led by a local guide and includes lunch at Nomad, which is one of the city's better-known restaurants.

The trainers for the November 2026 retreat are Kerry and Tyler. Kerry is the retreat manager, a Workout Away original who also works at Frame London; she's known for high energy and strength sessions. Tyler is the retreat host, Irish, a fitness competition fanatic (Turf Games, Hyrox) who works at Third Space London and designs performance-focused sessions. The line-up may change.

The resort is a four-star property about 20 minutes from the Medina and 25 minutes from Marrakesh airport (RAK). It has a large pool, palm trees and plenty of space to relax. Rooms are 32m² with wifi, a private balcony or terrace, twin or double beds, and unlimited filtered water. Massage treatments are available at extra cost.

This is a winter-sun trip: November, February and March departures. It's designed for people who want to train but also want to see a bit of Marrakesh. The fitness level is all-levels — the HIIT is described as all-levels cardio, and the strength sessions are multi-level. You don't need to be an athlete, but you should be up for two workouts a day.
